    US Special Operations Command recently awarded a $700 million contract for countermeasure systems for its AC-130J gunships and MC-130J airlifters.

    The AC-130J provides close air support and the MC-130J is mainly an infiltration and refueling aircraft, and the upgrades will allow them to better fend off enemy radar and missiles.
 

The US Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) will be upgrading its fleet of AC-130J Ghostrider and MC-130J Commando II aircraft with the addition of countermeasures systems against air and ground threats.
